ZXDS v1.1.0

[VatoLoco]

Patrik Rak has updated ZXDS, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator, to version 1.1.0. See the change log for what's new in this edition, and be sure to check out the project page and developer's blog for more details about the progress of this DS homebrew.

+ Custom ROMs support. See roms/readme.txt for more info.
+ IF2 ROMs and 48k/128k ROMs can be loaded directly in load requester.
+ Both SZX and Z80 snapshots now support custom ROMs as well.
+ TR-DOS/Beta Disk support for all models, not only Pentagon.
Simply choose the model or reset the machine while a disk is loaded.
You can also autoboot any disk with current model by using R+A.
+ Beta 128 in 48k mode responds even to the standard Beta 48 entry points.
This makes both Beta 128 and many Beta 48 programs work at the same time.
+ True Beta 48 mode can be enabled with proper beta48.rom (such as TK90X's CBI95 ROM).
+ Added NMI aka Magic button - becomes useful with some custom ROMs.
+ Added custom keyboards for more games as well as one for more comfortable text typing.
+ Added Virtual TR-DOS games and ZX AAA demos sites to servers.cfg.
* Pressing Start twice upon startup now takes you to the last used files view.
* Few subtle changes (save slot media loading, ROM launch stats).
* Little optimizations (Z80 core, sound generation, normal speed load mode).
* Subtle emulation improvements (authentic SCF/CCF, MEMPTR and AY white noise).
* Minor bugfixes (grayscale border, step direction bit).
! Merry Christmas.

I agree with everyone else, best zx spectrum emulator I've ever used, best spectrum ever and my favourite ds homebrew.
Long live zxds... Merry Xmas

Is this just a ROM loader or does it have a working "BASIC" ?

It has everything you possibly would want to use or expect to work.
It's the most feature-rich emulator out there for any system on any portable console !

Yes, it load games not roms ( most known to mankind formats ) and it has a working basic interpreter just like the original machine.
Two built in virtual keyboards to flawlessly work in 48K or 128K mode plus the ability to fully customize yours, and as of the latest version also the ability to use a custom internal rom with different functions.

ZXDS 1.1.1 (24.12.2012)

+ Spectrum +2A/+3 snapshots are not rejected right away anymore.
Instead, they are executed in 128K mode with extended paging enabled.
This makes some +2A/+3 RZXs and exclusive software work quite fine.
* Added a bit of color coding to the controls screen.

Yeah, just enough to get the pacman emulator snapshot working.
